Catholic World News reports that Benedict may be more seriously ill than thought . Peter Seewald, the German journalist who interviewed him, met him a few weeks ago and reports that he was exhausted, losing his hearing and sight in one eye, and had lost so much weight he needed new vestments. We redouble our prayers.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
